Is it too late to plant a potato?
I found a blue (seed) potato, still in the white paper bag, that I bought at the "right time" for planting potatoes--in fact, I did plant others, but I guess I forgot about that one. Is it still possible to plant it, and expect to harvest any potatoes before the 9th/12th/15th of October (my first frost date estimates)?

If it's an early- or mid-season potato, yes, I agree with Camp. Go for it!
Re: Is it too late to plant a potato?
I'd plant it too! My potatoes are going crazy right now, I can't wait to dig them up! How fun, a blue potato I have seen them but never grown them myself!

I think the blues are all early (short) season, could be wrong about that though.donnainzone10 wrote:If it's an early- or mid-season potato, yes, I agree with Camp. Go for it!

Re: Is it too late to plant a potato?
Okay, all!
Looks like I've got some 'tater plantin' to do tomorrow (guess I'd better get an early start, the weather report is for a week-long heat wave -- one radio station said maybe triple digits Tuesday!).
I'm not sure how I'm gonna do it; I'm thinking of trying a bag this time, considering I've had a worn out reusable grocery bag waiting for me to find a use for it, and that'll make it portable, if it gets too cool even earlier than I expect. Hard to think of that now, with all that coming up!
